Bake With Me: Birthday Muffins! (Special Post)

How are you doing? Hope you are all having a lovely week 🙂 I thought I would upload a special post today, showing you the muffins I baked for my birthday and sharing the recipe with you, in case you wanted to recreate them. I can assure you, they taste heavenly and are quite easy to make 🙂

First of all, let me show you my inspiration for these “Birthday Muffins”

My mum sent me this picture of these muffins she baked and I thought they looked so yummy that I wanted to recreate them myself, with some other toppings. Seriously, though, how gorgeous do these look?

On to the recipe!

These are all the ingredients you will need:

♥ 3 tea cups of self-raising flower

♥ 4 tablespoons of sugar

♥ 50 grams of unsalted butter

♥ 1 and 1/2 cups of milk

♥ 3 whole eggs

You add all your ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir it well (a kitchenaid would be incredibly helpful at this point).

Then you add whatever you want to your muffins. I chose berries, caramel/fudge cubes and a mix of three chocolates (dark, white and milk). Some other options would be:

♥ Chocolate Chips

♥ Nuts

♥ Fruit (any fruit you like, either in slices or little pieces)

♥ Jam

♥ Honey

(I did not actually bake them in the paper cups, they were just for decoration at this point.)

Fill about 3/4 of your muffin pans with the dough, add your toppings and, before going in the oven, your muffins should look something like this 🙂

.

And after…

Berries

Caramel/Fudge

3 Chocolates Mix

After only about 20 minutes at 190 ºC, this is what you get! I know, I know, they do not look as pretty as mum’s but they still look okay…right? 🙂

(They rose quite alright but the paper cups were a couple of sizes too big for them 😛 )

And there you have it, guys! My birthday muffins… What do you think? Let me know if you recreate them 🙂
